KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- One day after saying quarterback Alex Smith was pulled from a game because of a concussion, the Kansas City Chiefs indicated on Monday they don't believe he did suffer any head trauma.
"That's what an unaffiliated [neurological consultant] believes, that's what [team doctor Mike] Monaco believes, that's what I believe now,'' trainer Rick Burkholder said Monday. "He's been absolutely asymptomatic.''
Burkholder said the Chiefs had determined during the second half of their 30-14 win over the Indianapolis Colts that Smith wouldn't return to the game, but only because he was being tested for a concussion.
